Roosevelt students have also found paid research opportunities for the summer months or during the academic year. Many universities offer Summer Research Opportunity Programs (SROPs) that accept students from around the United States to work on a wide range of projects. Other universities host Research Opportunities for Undergraduates (REUs) where students receive training and payment to work on a specific project. Individual professors may have funding to hire students from other schools.
Finally, there are a number of programs that are not affiliated with universities that offer scholarships/stipends to participate in specific pre-professional training programs or research activities.
Applications for summer programs are often due in January or February, so students are encouraged to begin planning during the Fall semester.’
